3 straight years in the playoffs. While Kobe has the man of his team 08-10 shot a lower percentage. Interesting I taught Kobe was the superior 3 point shooter:lol

on less than half as many attempts?

ok.

Kobe's a better ranged shooter than MJ and that's just a fact. The moments are the moments, and MJ has had his moments of shooting hot from the 3point line. But overall Kobe's better in that department.

if they were to both shoot 1000 3's, or 10000 3's. You'd bet your money on MJ over Kobe?

Who would you rather have shoot a game tying 3, Kobe or MJ?

I want to say Kobe because he's a better shooter, but MJ was more clutch. Hard choice

What's up with all the Kobe talk recently? there are like 10 threads dedicated to hating on him on the first page and 0 threads about anything Lebron related

you'd think lebron was injured & Kobe was going for a 3peat

3 consecutive seasons in the playoffs. Similar age wise too. He even shot 30% in one of those playoffs rilun in 08.

I never felt MJ was comfortable shooting threes, its almost like his release and arc was designed for mid range

you are comparing a small sample size of performances. If you say something like, "prime MJ showed up bigger in jump shots than Kobe", then yeah i'd agree.

But if you say that MJ was a better shooter than Kobe based on that, then I disagree.

Jordan shot better than Kobe on seasons that he shot over 200 + three pointers. I'm not counting on seasons where the line was shorter. Just that when Jordan made the 3 pointer part of his game and shot them regularly, he shot better.

On the first season that he shot 200 3 pointers, he shot better than all but one of Kobe's seasons. Not counting Kobe's rookie year with the shorter line. But think about that, on the first season that Jordan made the three pointer part of his game, he shot better than all but one of Kobe's seasons.

Small sample, no? At the very best, you could make the claim PEAK MJ was as good as PEAK Kobe in 3PT shooting.

Mj and Kobe both have a lot of gametying clutch 3s.

I'm showing you at the same points in their career at similar age/role on team Mj shot better.

why would you do different points in their careers? wouldn't generalizations like who was a better shooter be more accurate if you do everything combined, like overall?

if MJ and Kobe each took 1000 3's, or 10,000 3's, you would bet your money on MJ making more?

Jordan shoots a much higher percentage in the clutch compared to Kobe. It's like 30% vs. 50%, so it's significant. I'm not sure about 3pt stats though.

Oh gamewinners is different, but I seen a lot of gametying shots from both. It's hard to find cause they don't upload them independently like gamewinners

So Kobe more range, MJ more intelligent? Gotcha.

If that implies that Kobe is a better shooter than MJ, then yes.

In such a situation where they're both competing on one thing, where Jordan will focus on that one thing, I would put my money on Jordan.

From long range? Of course. While also stating MJ is the smarter, better scorer.

Similar to how pro kobe fans like to eliminate his first few seasons in the league. The same concept can be applied to Jordan as far as 3Pt FG%. The three was rarely used in the 80s. If you eliminate Jordans first few years of not shooting the three, his avg is better than Bryants.

BTW the Volume plays a role. Hell yea Kobe's a better long range shooter... for the Clutch? 3 to win? I'd still take MJ.

kobe settled for 3's because he didnt have the stamina to keep getting to rim like jordan did

jordan is a better physical specimen than kobe bryant
jordan is a better basketball player than kobe bryant
jordan is a better human being than kobe bryant

I would hold the last because MJ was/is a huge asshole of a person. There is no humility in his bone whatsoever.

Jordan's a career 29% 3 point shooter with the real line, eff that noise:roll: By today's standards his volume is super low as well.

Not to mention players/teams actually defend Kobe's 3 point shooting instead of sagging off like Jordan.

Don't forget his 3 point contest showing is the worst ever.

What happen in the playoffs for 3 years he was the man deep in the playoffs? They sagged off cause Mj is a better driver.

He averaged two 3 point attempts a game during the 1st threepeat playoffs fool. TWO:roll:

29% 3 point shooting for career from the real line= he wasn't a good 3 point shooter.

It's easy to drive when you can just isolate your defender on one side of the floor.

He still shot better then Kobe. Even when it increased in 93 to 4 attempts a game.

MJ got just has much defensive pressure has Kobe. Stay off the crack?

Anyone who watched Michael Jordan play knows the three-pointer was never really a part of his game. This isn't a newsflash.

Still GOAT.
